Severe flash floods hit a market in the West Sumatra province of Indonesia on Thursday (March 12th) destroying shops and blocking bridges.
Footage filmed in Pakan Rabaa Sitalang in Agam Regency showed a river of muddy floodwaters churning through the market.
The debris swept away by the flooding later blocked a nearby bridge and caused the water to flow over the crossing point.
According to local residents, the flash flooding was produced after only half an hour of heavy rainfall.
Some blamed illegal logging in a forest 3 kilometres away for the flooding.
